    This tour is intended for you to have a taste of the typical Atlantic Portuguese lifestyle. And no, not Mediterranean as it is always said. Discover the diverse olive oils there are, understanding how and why we use them. The other important secular tradition we have is wine. Get to know the Setúbal wine region in a family-owned winery. To end the experience, you will have to taste the different fishes we traditionally eat. For the above, we will travel south of Lisbon to the Setúbal Wine Region.
